@renoomokri I’m truly grateful I came across your page. Thanks to social media, I got to meet an amazing man like you who opened my eyes to investing. I wish I’d started sooner, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come. You’ve genuinely improved so many of our lives thank you. 🙏🏽
There is a fragile line between a joke and an outright insult, and do not be deceived by laughter to swallow an insult and suffer disrespect. If you do, you make yourself a mark for those present who saw that you suffered the insult without consequence. Immediately this happens, benefit serious and address the issue. Overlooking an insult, especially a public one, is the beginning of the end of your self-respect and reputation.

Under Tinubu, every state gets at least double the allocation it received under Buhari. Some are even receiving triple.
The Port Harcourt Refinery is back up, and because Nigeria now refines petrol, fuel prices have dropped from ₦1050 to ₦815. In just one month, fuel prices have gone down three times.
Meanwhile, insecurity is at its lowest level since 2014, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace's annual Global Terrorism Index. As a result, more Nigerians are able to return to farms that were once occupied by bandits and terrorists.
If you are from Benue, Plateau, Taraba, or Southern Kaduna, Tinubu's administration marks the first time that many of you, our brothers and sisters, can visit your villages.
Since 69% of Nigerians are employed in the agricultural sector, Nigeria's unemployment rate has crashed to an astonishing 4.3%, while inflation has dropped from 34.80% last year to 24.48% in February 2025.
In 2024, Nigeria's economy grew by 3.84%, nearly double the global GDP growth of 2.6%. Our international trade grew even more last year. We generated a trade surplus of ₦18.86 trillion in 2024, up from ₦6.09 trillion in 2023. That is an astonishing 209.6% growth.
This is even as the Sokoto-Badagry Highway has reached Kebbi State and is progressing daily. The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is now approaching Ondo State. And power generation is at an all-time high of 6,003MW, the highest in our history.
These are a few examples of why #TinubuIsaVisionaryPresident
Being good with people is more impactful on your success than being good with books. Listen, book smart is good. But books don't own businesses. Books don't buy from companies. People do. So, learn to be people smart. Be warm. Play with people. Establish rapport. Form bonds. Once you can get people to like you, they will eventually buy from you.

The NAFDAC closed down an entire market of fake drugs in Aba that kill thousands of Nigerians every day, and Peter Obi said nothing. Because it is Aba, and he can't speak against them. The same way he has not said anything about the arrest of Simon Ekpa, whose activities have led to the deaths of thousands of people in Igboland.
But as soon as there was a tragedy in Ibadan, he rushed and blamed Tinubu. Forgetting that 28 people died during a stampede caused by Akara under him as Anambra Governor. When I exposed his hypocrisy, he deleted his post.
Peter Obi does not care about Nigerians. He just wants power, and he will politicise any tragedy that benefits him and avoid those that affect those he feels are his people because, in his mind, not all Nigerians are his people!
Or, am I lying?

They have found their voice because the Naira depreciated today. But they lost their vocal cords when it appreciated for five straight days. If you want to make them drunk with joy, like the three witches in Macbeth, come up with bad news about their fatherland. As long as their candidate did not win the #NigerianElections2023, nothing good must happen in Nigeria. But as for me and my house, we shall #GrowNairaBuyNaija!
If you want the Naira to rise again, join me in patronising made-in-Nigeria goods.

Stream Nigerian music, especially Morayo by Wizkid
Fellow Africans,
We have an opportunity to set a world record with one of Africa's best artiste, Wizkid, whose album, Morayo, has set an African streaming record in its first week. Let's bring more glory to Africa by helping our 001 set a world streaming record.
Please go on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iTunes, YouTube, and Pandora, stream the album Morayo, and purchase the singles from that body of music.
In 2021, Africa voted for me as the most influential businessperson on the Internet from Africa. There is no African nation from which I did not get votes in the Business Insider poll. And today, from a business standpoint, I assure you that if you help Wizkid break world records, it will not only help him, but it will open the door for other African artistes, such as Tyla, Diamond Platnumz, Black Sherif, DJ Maphorisa, and Sarkodie.
Money will flow into your national economies by this action. It is in our continental corporate interest for Morayo to break records.
If a European, American, or Asiatic person streams Morayo and likes it, the chance they will stream another artiste of African origin is high. In essence, you are not doing this for just Wizkid. You are doing it for Africa and your favourite singers, rappers and entertainers.
Remember, where there are streaming records, there will also be Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards.
Thriller made Michael Jackson the biggest artiste on the planet. Morayo can make Wizkid, the king of Afrobeats, his successor!
Please share this until it gets to every part of Africa.
Thanks, and may God bless you all.

Is Nigeria's 'Economy In Shambles' As Singer, Davido, Claimed?
I beg to disagree with singer Davido that Nigeria's 'economy is in shambles'. If our economy is in shambles, how was it possible for Wizkid's album, Morayo, to record 12.12 million streams on its inaugural day of release on Spotify Nigeria, which made the album the biggest-selling album on a streaming platform in Nigeria's history for the first day.
Please fact-check me: Streaming music is purchased with disposable income. People do not have disposable income in an economy in shambles, not to mention breaking streaming records, especially on Spotify, where the average streaming cost is $10.99 monthly.
How many singers have broken streaming records in Venezuela or Argentina? Those are economies that could be said to be in shambles, not Nigeria.
Perhaps if Davido had built a track record of showing more commitment to Nigeria, he, like Wizkid, would have broken streaming records on Spotify Nigeria.
I urge Davido to learn from Rihanna, who never talks down on her country and instead uses her celebrity to promote Barbados and project her positively to the world. Which is why Rihanna was named a national hero and cultural ambassador for Barbados in 2018.
David Adeleke displayed ignorance and a lack of patriotism with that statement on a globally renowned podcast like The Big Homies House. Even worse is that he said "We do not have the best leader, that is a fact."
It is rather disappointing for a young man whose uncle is a governor and should, therefore, know better. Even worse, he said that to a foreign audience in a foreign country. Davido may have US citizenship, but that does not mean he should de-market Nigeria.
The reforms in Nigeria were necessary to stop wastage, such as the $1.5 billion used to defend the Naira monthly, the $15 billion expended on fuel subsidy annually, and the wanton importation of products that we could manufacture in Nigeria by opportunistic importers.
And the reforms are working. Nigeria has had four uninterrupted consecutive quarters of trade surpluses for the first time ever, meaning that we now export more than we import. Nigeria has achieved a new record in its balance of trade, with an unprecedented ₦14.07 trillion trade surplus by half year 2024.
On Thursday, March 28, 2024, the Nigerian Stock Exchange crossed 104,562.06 All Shares Index, a 39.84% increase year-to-date, making it the second-best performing exchange in Africa.
The reforms have come with some short-term challenges, which are understandable. Nevertheless, steps have been taken to cushion their effect on Nigerians and raise their purchasing power, including the increase of the minimum wage by 140% from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, which is probably why our youths had the power to help Wizkid break streaming records.
Student loans have also been introduced for both students of federal and state-owned tertiary institutions for the first time in Nigeria's history, even as conditional cash transfers have been paid and are still being paid to the poorest of the poor in Nigeria.
And it may be that his personal experience in Osun State has made Davido take such a position. After all, Osun State, under the dancing Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, was one of the last states to increase their minimum wage to match up with the Federal Government's new minimum wage, despite receiving 65% more federal allocation under the Tinubu government.
If that is the case, then Davido may want to specify that Osun's local economy is in shambles, not Nigeria's.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inherited a nation servicing debt with 97% of her national income and in less than 2 years he has brought the burden down to 68%. Why has this not being a talking point? Why are Nigerians not appreciative of the massive feat? Are we truly objective in the mad criticism of President Tinubu?
