I hope all the INEOS defenders can see that this team is shit and not ready for the season. They had enough time to properly invest and refresh this team but they're being stoopidly frugal and people are here cheering them on like they're applying some ancient wisdom
#HULMUN
At this point if you know anyone still supporting this government, just know that person is a criminal. Even if they haven't committed a crime yet, they would someday. You cannot be a person of integrity and then not see anything wrong with the person called BAT
Let me share a story that is obliquely related to this issue of manifestos…
Many years ago, as a middle management staff at Access Bank, I was chasing a transaction that had the potential to turn my groups profitability and balance sheet around.
The customer had landed a huge slate of contracts with the federal government. It would drive Billions in current account balances and fee fee income.
They needed a guarantee from the bank.
I made the case… wrote the credit analyses, presented the approval memoranda all the way to the management credit committee…
Everything looked good on paper. Almost too good…and it was provisionally approved after some hard grilling by the committee.
But after the meeting…My DMD at the time, the late Herbert Wigwe, called me to his office…
“Justin, I want to meet this customer in person. Schedule a meeting for next week but don’t issue the offer letter until after”
I was agitated…Haba…after all this wahala why can’t we just issue the guarantee and let me book my fees? But oga had spoken…so what to do?
I did as instructed.
We got to Abuja for this meeting as scheduled…
Hebert was just ‘gisting’… I was expecting some hard hitting technical questions, like the ones I had been asked…maybe he just wanted to hear them himself ?
But nah…
just gist…about business, how he got started, what he thought about this and that and the other…some old transactions…with other banks…politics…his relationship with the government and other deals in the pipeline …everything under the sun…but the specifics of the transaction in question.
Meeting ended. I’m confused.
We’re on the way back to the airport and I’m waiting for Herbert to say something.
Nothing.
Just talking about my business in general…other things I was working on. I knew better than to ask what I was really waiting to hear.
Then he drops the bomb just as we are landing in lagos.
“Justin, we’re not doing it”
I felt like exploding…
He continued…
“In the business of credit and banking, you will learn that willingness to repay is more important than the ability to repay…you will find other deals…”
I was deflated, confused, angry…
One guy from one of the top five banks that loves large ticket corporate deals did the transaction eventually. He got promoted for it…
The customer diverted some of the proceeds and the whole thing went sideways.
The guy also eventually got fired for it.
The only time HW revisited the issue was one day we met in the elevator a couple years after, when the news of the matter broke.
“Justin I’m sure you’re happy you didn’t do that transaction now”
I didn’t have to ask which one he meant.
How does any of this relate to manifestos?
They are important and necessary for every candidate to have. They provide clarity and a baseline for how one can evaluate a candidate in a presidential election.
But they tell you NOTHING about the CHARACTER of a candidate. They provide no insight into the most impactful attribute a leader should possess.
That can only be judged by their actions. Their track record. How they have handled previous responsibility or conducted themselves historically.
So by all means let’s have the manifestos and let’s critique them when they are made public by the candidates.
But let us also examine their manifest character, as evidenced by their lives and conduct in the past.
Otherwise the manifesto is hardly worth the paper it’s printed on
End of.
Continue to rest in peace HW.🙏🏾
Brian Madjo will be a problem in the premier league. Is anybody seeing his movements? At 17? This kid is going to be a star. Not a villa fan but I'm very impressed
He will not follow the money ke. Is he not the typical Nigerian politician? Nothing else matters to them. That Infantino is about to put money over everything else the game stands for means nothing to this one. A thief will always follow the money
Pinnick: Infantino’s FFE Proposal Will Give Each Member Association $20 Million
As FIFA President, Gianni Infantino has the right to propose changes, and it is up to stakeholders to accept or reject them. One of the major characteristics of the FIFA President is his ability to consult widely, and he is doing so with the FFE Proposal. Under this proposal, FIFA would sell minority stakes in a new for-profit commercial subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), to external investors. The beneficiaries of the proposal will still be the member associations — including the Nigeria FA, Ghana FA, South African FA, and all other FAs.
This proposal should be celebrated in the wake of the most successful World Cup.

NA STATISTICS WE GO CHOP?
Calvary greetings my dear brother Olusegun,
I am surprised that after the statement from Tchief Tinubu on 25 November 2022 during his presidential campaign rally in Delta State, cackling “na statistics we go chop” our very handsome president has now promoted himself from hating statistics to manufacturing them.
What he cannot forge does not exist
Since the numbers refused to favour his administration, he has now hired a graphics designer (possibly from the same shop that printed his certificate), and has gone ahead to stamp “FULFILLED” to deceive himself. At least in this government, if reality no gree, Canva go cooperate.
Everyone in APC now “celebrate” statistics but nobody in that party seems to be able to differentiate between a law, a conference, and an actual implementation or accomplishment.
So as usual, LET ME EDUCATE YOU.
1. When did you fulfill the FX reform?
Is there not still persistent volatility?
Has the reform produced a credible foreign exchange market? The naira lost a large share of its value. Businesses struggled to access foreign exchange.
Under this govt, naira has experienced an over 200% depreciation.
$460 when you came, $1600 today.
2. Your administration listing Fiscal discipline and deficit mgt as fulfilled is laughable. Under Tinubu our debt japad from ₦87.4 trn to ₦159.28trn in 18 months, borrowing 4x faster than Buhari, who was already Nigeria's biggest borrower ever. Tinubu is the largest and fastest borrower amongst our last 3 presidents combined. 16 years from Yaradua to Buhari was ₦84trn, just 3 years of Tinubu is ₦72trn as at December.
Also what is our Debt to GDP value? Debt servicing is consuming the largest chunk of government revenue, Interest payments remain high and Fiscal pressure has increased.
We don’t even have a budget, Tinubu has not published a budget report since 2024 but here he is with Oluwole graphics claiming fulfilled.
3. The only foreign investment Tinubu has fulfilled is taking himself to foreign countries. Tinubu has spent over 344 days out of the country since he became President.
Not a single investment announcements under Tinubu has translated into job creation or measurable productivity growth. Just pieces of papers and media propaganda.
4. What is CREDICORP? How many customers right now can access the credit?
Where can I walk in today and easily obtain affordable consumer credit? You people are jokers.
5. Tax Reforms Act, please don’t get me started…
Is this the same Tax Reform Act that sparked outrage over allegations that the gazetted version was different from what lawmakers approved? The same tax reform that was confirmed to the whole nation that was forged. Is that what APC just celebrated as an achievement 😂…Ehhhh nitori olorun
6. What is the achievement in crude oil production? Why hasn’t it translated into lower fuel costs? How much was fuel when Tinubu came to power and how much is it today?
Mr. Subsidy is gone 😭
7. Has electricity become reliable? What has the Tinubu’s govt done with Electricity in Nigeria? From Band A to bandits because we are all operating in the dark.
The existence of legislation is different from improved electricity supply.
Nigeria's national grid has collapsed at least 20 times under Tinubu
What is his achievement in electricity?
Don’t forget he said: If I don’t give you CONSTANT electricity for 4 years don’t vote for me. Where is the electricity @officialABAT
8. None of the PIA has been fully implemented. Another immeasurable fallacy.
9. Fuel Subsidy 😭
Tinubuuuuuuu @officialABAT how did you even include this as an achievement? Where is the money Nigeria saved from subsidy? Why are we still borrowing?
This was an economical lifelong injury.
Inflation increased, transportation increased, food costs increased
You failed, this is the biggest implementation failure.
F9 in economics, C in graphics designing😭.
I’m sleepy and out of twitter characters, just wait let me wake up💁🏼♀️
🚨 N962.83 Billion for SUVs and Empowerment Projects Exceeds the Combined Budget of Seven Key Federal Ministries in the 2026 Budget
Our review of the 2026 FG Budget uncovered another troubling pattern of opaque spending.
🚙 39 SUVs - N15.13 bn
👥 2,579 Empowerment Projects - N947.7 bn
Total: N962.83 bn
This is more than the combined N960.27bn allocation to seven key Federal Ministries:
🏭 Industry, Trade & Investment - N156.8bn
🏘️ Housing - N145.3bn
👩 Women Affairs - N169.39bn
⚖️ Justice - N150.7bn
🐄 Livestock Development - N177.6bn
✈️ Aviation & Aerospace Development - N87.3bn
🪔 Petroleum Resources - N73.1bn
Yet, only 70 of the 2,579 empowerment projects have clearly identified implementation locations.
This raises serious accountability concerns:
📍 How can citizens track projects with no stated location?
🔍 How can oversight institutions verify implementation?
💰 How can taxpayers know who ultimately benefits from these allocations?
The concerns don't end there, these projects are spread across 184 implementing agencies, many of which have no statutory mandate to execute empowerment programmes. Leading agencies 👇
📌 @fedccojiriver - 393 projects worth N127.1bn
📌 National Agricultural Development Fund - 6 projects worth N89.5bn
📌 @Fchdkgombe - 216 projects worth N88.1bn
📌 @officialfccib - 94 projects worth N36.9bn
Let us be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with empowerment programmes! When well-designed and transparently implemented, they can improve livelihoods, create economic opportunities, and support vulnerable Nigerians.
However, experience over the years has shown that many poorly defined empowerment projects have become vehicles for political patronage, rewarding loyalists rather than delivering broad-based benefits to citizens. When projects have no clear location, no transparent beneficiary selection process, and are assigned to agencies without the appropriate mandate, public confidence is eroded, and accountability becomes difficult.
This concern is even more pressing given that the 2026 Budget is projected to be financed with a deficit of about 46%. At a time when government is borrowing heavily to fund public expenditure, every naira should be directed toward investments with clear development outcomes, measurable impact, and value for money, not opaque allocations that citizens cannot effectively track.
A budget should not only allocate resources, it should also inspire public confidence. Every budget item should have a clear purpose, a defined location, an implementing agency with the legal mandate to deliver it, identifiable beneficiaries, and measurable outcomes.

@UTDKarra I don't know why this is hard to see. Rashford will bring back the toxicity Amorim fought hard to eradicate. His petulance will be Carrick's downfall
Dear Nigerians, here's another question that deserves our collective attention.
The 2026 FG Budget earmarks N22.15 billion for the construction of 106 Palace buildings, with some including furniture and solar installations.
Our review raises serious accountability concerns:
📍 11 Palace projects worth N5.85 billion have no identified locations, making public oversight almost impossible.
📍 None of the 45 implementing MDAs has the statutory mandate to construct palaces.
Among the agencies budgeted to execute these projects are:
• Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (N3.92bn)
• Federal Cooperative College, Ibadan (N3.29bn)
• Sheda Science and Technology Complex (N1.54bn)
• National Cereals Research Institute (N427m)
• Industrial Arbitration Panel (N369.4m)
• National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (N280m)
• Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital, Dawanau (N42m)
At a time of rising debt and limited fiscal space, should the Federal Government fund projects that are largely local in nature, while states and local governments constitutionally exist to address many community-level needs?
This is not about the importance of our traditional institutions. It is about ensuring that public budgets reflect constitutional responsibilities, institutional mandates, and Nigeria's development priorities.
The Federal Budget should not become a vehicle for financing projects outside the constitutional and statutory responsibilities of the institutions implementing them.
Nigeria deserves a budget that is lawful, transparent, and development-driven.

@NGRPresident@nassnigeria,
@HouseNGR
We are in the 7th month of 2026 and the FG hasn't even began implementing the 2026 budget 😂!
What am I even saying?
They haven't implemented the 2024, 2025 nor 2026 budget.
But you tell me to Relax that Tinubu is fixing Nigeria?
You must be on Colos!
This final tells you everything you need to know about how Argentina got this far. Utter luck with some sprinkling of FIFA and referee assistance
120mins with no shot on target and the "goat" on their team. Awful display!!!
#ESPARG
Thank you @Onsogbu for bringing this to my attention. Please, Mr. Nnaemeka Ikerionwu should proceed to see the Director of Commercial and Business Development for the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and he will be directed on the mode of payment of the fine for the offender.
Now that we have burst his bubble, next time, @PeterObi should think twice before making outlandish claims of being targeted at our airports or anywhere for that matter in order to get ‘sympathy votes’. Nigerians have become too politically savvy to fall for such cheap political gimmicks from presidential candidates that emerged from miracle centres.
90k bookmarks! Thank you @TechnicalBben 👏👏.
To help you easily get the keyword search combination, I created a tap-to-copy search word tool. Open on your phone, tap a combo, paste in Temu. You can add to home screen so it lives like an app.
https://t.co/cFCrBCTbX5
Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭
It's knowing what to search for.
Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes.
1. T-shirts:
Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear.
Instead, search:
• 100% Cotton
• Combed Cotton
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240-300 GSM Cotton
• Premium Cotton
• Mercerized Cotton
The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels.
2. Jeans:
Denim Jeans
Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search.
Search:
• Denim Jeans
• Cotton Denim
• Raw Denim
• Selvedge Denim (if available)
• 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane
• 99% Cotton
Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel.
3. Body-hug clothing:
Search:
• Ribbed Knit
• Modal
• Viscose Blend
• Cotton-Spandex Blend
They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester.
4. Hoodies
Search:
• 400 GSM
• French Terry
• Cotton Fleece
• Heavyweight Hoodie
5. Chains
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold Plated
• Vacuum Plated
These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry.
6. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Moissanite (if you're buying stones)
7. Scarves
Search:
• Mulberry Silk
• Silk Blend
• Cashmere Blend
• Wool Blend
• Viscose
Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look.
8. Loafers
Search:
• Genuine Leather
• Cow Leather
• Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for)
• Rubber Outsole
9. Sneakers
Search:
• Rubber Outsole
• EVA Midsole
• Breathable Mesh
• Leather Upper
• Stitched Sole
Pictures lie a lot
The description usually tells the truth.
Here's how I shop:
1. Read the material composition before anything else.
2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest.
3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth.
4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't.
5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos.
6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier.
7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches.
8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on.
Your best friend isn't the product picture.
It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos.
That's how you separate the gems from the junk.
I hope this help.
Things are to expensive for a country this poor.
Unfortunate greetings to you @OgbeniDipo
This message is not in anyway intent to educate you, you've descended below the capacity to retain any form of intelligence - it is intended to ridicule you.
Absolute wonderkids went to represent the country you claim to love more than us, they excelled wonderfully only for you to dogwhistle your fellow ewedu crooners to a space in order to ridicule them on the grounds of their ethnicity.
You and your fellow guttersnipes love to exist in the delusion that you're the most educated tribe - as someone who has twice whatever the height of your academic peak is, no modicum of education shines through you - just bubbles of intellectual fraud & disgusting bìgötry (I added the ami ohun to satisfy your insatiable need for cultural preservation.
For years, you hawked CV reviews like your life depended on it - when it stopped putting food on your table, you began to ridicule education to promote the akaranification & kukulization of the economy just because of your new job designation as Dean of Studies, Apoda Twitter.
It hurts me personally you know, that a good number of trees have to stay alive just to satisfy the oxygen need for people like you. People like you who play destructive roles in the society, who deserve to be melted into asphalt to fill potholes.
People like you are cancerous because your presumed academic journey & perceived exposure allows your to command a certain level audience when the strength of your intelligence can be measured in kilobytes.
Whatever Alex has done that you and your insiduous ilk suppose to imitate, celebrate, collaborate or encourage - you're tearing down at the expense of children who have done nothing to you.
Just because the covering duvet doesn't have pockets, motorcycles don't have conductors & we cannot put airconditioning units in tricycles - every single effort you commit to will convert to vain.
If the owners of the morning agree to initiate your progress, the custodians of the night will stage a protest.
We cannot be championing a campaign against olodo uprising only for our first major academic win as a country to surface weeks after - only for proglottides like yourselves to shit on it, just because it satisfies your bìgötry KPIs.
It will not be well with you.
