They are unsheltered, malnourished, mentally, physically and psychologically abused in ways we cannot even imagine! Their only crime is going to school to learn. 35 DAYS!!!💔💔
@OgbeniDipo@TONYELEME Of course we will use our youth wisely but voting out a president who has not made any progress to rescue 39 children and teachers who have been in forest for 34 days.
Tinubu knows we always move on to the next one!
But as a mother I refuse to move on.
Thirty Nine (39) innocent children are still being held to Ransom.
The GCFR should resign if he can't secure our lives and bring back those kids.
It’s 31days since Oyo children were taken.
It’s 31days since Oyo children were taken.

Pls share for the world to see this.
💔
As you celebrate, remember that it's a month since 39 children have been in captivity.
1 month!!!!
You used to preach the buck stops at the president during Buhari's regime. But now it's Tinubu and you are quiet.
Let’s talk about the reality happening in this country. 🥹💔
Gas is now about ₦2,000 per kg, right? I was at a retailer shop in my street this evening, and I just stood there watching people come to refill their cylinders. What I saw really broke me.
Throughout the time I stayed there, the highest amount anyone filled was 5k. Most people were doing 1k, ₦1,500, 2k.
Some even came and said they only had ₦500 for gas, but the seller had to tell them there’s nothing like ₦500 refill, the minimum was 1k
Chai… 💔 people are really going through a lot.
What hurt me the most is that many of the people who came could only afford ₦1,000, which is barely half a kilogram of gas. Half a kilogram… and that’s what people are surviving on.
Forget social media for a moment, this country is hard for real. People are managing life in ways we can’t even fully explain. 💔😔
We can’t continue like this. Go get your PVC.
Tonight is another freaking cold night!! This is their 29th night as captives of terrorists! We are talking of little children and toddlers in this cold! Ah!!! This cannot be how we will keep counting days! No! This cannot be it!😭😭😭
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!😭😭
It’s 27 days since Oyo children were taken.
It’s 27 days since Oyo children were taken.
It’s 27 days since Oyo children were taken.
It’s 27 days since Oyo children were taken.
It’s 27 days since Oyo children were taken.
SHOULD WE MOVE ON & FORGET THE KIDS?
The Tinubu administration is expecting Nigerians youth to fight insecurity. This is according to the minister of defence. They are now shifting responsible for security from government to young Nigerians.
Let's assume young Nigerians agree to fight.
With what will they fight? Possession of arm is still illegal. In fact, many Nigerians are in detention for arming themselves to defend their communities, especially in Northern Nigeria.
If the minister is clueless like Tinubu, he should resign and stop wasting our time and money.
Nigeria will definitely be OK with Obi/Kwankwaso ticket. Be hopeful.
This is now their 28th Night in the den of terrorists!! 28 Nights! That’s 4 weeks! One Month!!! Ahhh!!!!!!!!!! God!!!!!! No shelter, no change of clothes, poor feeding, no safety, anxiety, molestation and abuse and different forms of emotional torture! God!!!😭😭
This is how we check World Cup fixtures when there was no access to internet, gone are those days at Ojota, like it’s was so interesting, they will sell to us then unfolded in other to make it easy to access, we will fold it and begin to write score after each match.
Childhood 🙌🏼
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.
Back in February, during the Hallelujah Challenge team photoshoot, Pastor @nathanielblow stopped to pray for me and shared a few prophetic words. One caught me completely off guard. He said the World Bank would invite me to speak at one of its biggest summits, and that I would play a headline role.
I said “Amen,” but honestly, I was confused. I already worked with the World Bank, so I could not see how that word would unfold. He must have noticed my face, because he said it again with even greater conviction. I received it and carried on with life.
Fast forward to April. A call with the manager of the World Bank Youth Summit changed everything. They wanted me to headline and curate a @hatricksbytolani session for more than 7,000 delegates, the first of its kind in the summit’s history. Two fireside chats. One with the President of the World Bank Group. The other with me, alongside the CEO of Voice of Africa KAD, on Finding Your Voice and the Power of Storytelling.
I did not believe it until the confirmation email arrived. Then the flyer. Even then it felt surreal. Somebody say, “Jesus Iye.”
God does not need our understanding to fulfil His word. He simply needs our obedience. There are some things hard work cannot explain, and this is one of them.
Pastor @nathanielblow , thank you for speaking with conviction that day, even when my face said I did not understand. You held the word steady until I could catch up to it.
And there is one more part of this story. Hatricks will tell it soon.
