Exponential increase in revenue with excessive borrowing: Yet more hardship for Nigerians!
In celebrating three years of his administration, President Bola Tinubu included, among his achievements, an increase in revenue from N16.8 trillion in 2022 to N35 trillion in 2025. An increase of over 100%.
Shockingly, while Nigerians expected a reduction in borrowing with the exponential increase in revenue, the opposite is the case. In just three years, President Bola Tinubu’s government seems to be obsessed with excessive and imprudent borrowing, with our total debt currently about N200 trillion—a deeply disturbing increase of over N100 trillion.
In addition to the exponential increases in both revenue and debt, it is also important to note that Nigeria has earned far more than the budget revenue targets due to global and regional geoeconomic and political tensions.
Alarmingly, even with the astronomical increase in both revenue and debt, almost all key socio-economic and governance indicators are worse than in 2023. Multi-dimensional poverty has increased from 87 million people in 2023 to over 140 million people in 2025. Rapidly increasing unemployment and a decline in GDP per capita from $1,597 in 2023 to $1,223 in 2025, and the list goes on.
Just more and more hardship for Nigerians! The question Nigerians and even the international community are asking is, “Where did all the money go?”
Nigerians deserve a detailed and transparent explanation of what happened to our economy and financial resources since 2023, and a stop to the imprudent, unaccountable, and opaque management of our common patrimony.
A new and productive Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK! -PO

If you use Hermes, you'll want to bookmark this.
Nous Research has a FULL GUIDE on building custom Hermes agent plugins.
Copy this entire page into your agent, and prompt: "I want to build a plugin for [x]."
Your agent will then autonomously execute.
Some ideas:
• Finance research plugins (alert system, watchlist updates, etc.)
• Social media scanner
• Calendar and meeting auto-prepper
• Medical/health tracker
So much ROI. Create your plugins here:

The top Hermes integrations to give your agent superpowers:
1. Obsidian
It works as a Karpathy-style second brain, but one that talks back.
Every note, page, and backlink in the vault becomes live context. The agent doesn't just store knowledge, it reasons over it across everything that's been written and saved.
2. Playwright
It gives Hermes a real browser instead of a read-only window to the web.
It clicks, fills forms, and navigates pages the way a person would, then runs UI tests across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. This lets you turn Hermes from something that reads the web into something that can act on it.
3. InsForge
It puts a full agentic backend behind one semantic layer.
Auth, database, storage, and edge functions are all accessible without wiring five services together. The agent reasons about backend primitives directly instead of juggling disconnected APIs.

(don't forget to star 🌟)
4. GitHub
It connects code, issues, and pull requests, turning Hermes into an engineering teammate that can actually read the repo.
5. Bright Data
It hands agents web access that does not get blocked.
It pulls live search results, full pages, and clean structured data from places like X, LinkedIn, and Reddit, handling the proxies, CAPTCHAs, and rendering underneath so the agent just gets usable data back.

6. Sequential thinking
It upgrades how Hermes reasons rather than what it connects to.
Most integrations give the agent new senses. This one gives it a better mindset. It forces Hermes to break a hard problem into ordered steps and revise its own plan as it goes, instead of committing to the first answer that looks right.
7. Google workspace
It connects Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Sheets in one place.
The agent that can't check the inbox, read the calendar, or write to a shared doc is basically decorative. This should probably be the first integration anyone enables.
8. Zapier
It acts as the layer that connects Hermes to everything else in the world.
This single connector reaches thousands of downstream apps. Hermes can fire off a workflow, update a record, or move data between tools without anyone writing the glue code.
9. Stripe
It surfaces revenue, refunds, subscription changes, and failed charges through a single question instead of clicking through dashboards.
It turns Stripe from a payment processor into a queryable business intelligence layer.
10. Slack
It handles channel-based automation inside Slack.
Hermes can live inside specific channels with its own workflow in each. Support tickets from email get scanned, categorized, and dropped into the right channel every morning without anyone lifting a finger. It can also read on-call threads and post status updates so the team stops switching tabs to stay in sync.
11. Graphiti
It builds real-time knowledge graphs of structured relationships from conversations and documents.
Instead of flat vector similarity, the agent traverses typed connections between entities. That is the difference between finding similar text and understanding how things actually relate.

(don't forget to star 🌟)
12. Figma
It gives the agent design context it can actually read.
Hermes can pull a frame, read the tokens and layout, and turn it into code that respects the system down to the spacing. With FigJam it goes the other way too, generating architecture diagrams and ERDs straight from a prompt. It is underrated for anyone who lives between design and engineering.
To dive deeper into Hermes, my co-founder wrote a full deep dive covering the Hermes agent's architecture, memory system, self-evolving skills, GEPA optimization, and how to set up multiple specialized agents.

The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.

Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity
I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.
I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.
It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.
To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.
No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.
I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

Good morning @DONJAZZY
Months ago, you gave a young man 20M naira to disburse laptops. He didn't, nor has he provided accountability for that money, which is public funds.
That's the subpoint of this tweet.
The main point is that, he stands to implicate you in the future.
What you may or may not know is:
The young man solicited sensitive data like NIN from thousands of potential beneficiaries he lured under an application system trap - for laptops he didn't disburse. Members of his committee too have, consequently, been public touted as fraudulent.
Hundreds of crimes are committed monthly with NIN. Should one of the unsuspecting applicants have their data used in a crime in the future, one can make a case that you funded him to fish private data from the unsuspecting public.
A case can concurrently be made that it is impossible for you not to know his application request system or possible distribution apparatus before dumping 20M before him.
Ideally, you should demand that he publicly accounts for the money - and should you decide to prepare a legal contingency, that's entirely your prerogative. For posterity sake, I have just executed my duty as Twitter's unappointed class captain.
They will not turn your good into evil inside your hand o.
